The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …

I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …

One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …

I’ve been watching Star Wars for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been a fan of prequels. The problem is that I know where the story is going.

Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …

Vanessa Hudgens is the rising young star of Disney. Thanks to High School Musical, she is now a nation wide start. She can act, sing, and dance. That’s a triple threat for you. Recently, I’ve noticed she has gotten more womanly. She has more curves now compared to the …

This is a 2007 movie and I managed to catch it on DVD only. I think that this is perhaps one of the best comedy movies that I’ve watched. The plot goes this way: Dan who is acted by Steve Carell, fall in love with this sweet girl …

Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …

“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …

Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …

Wanted is an action film that is based on a comic book miniseries by Mark Millar. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and features two of my favorite stars Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie.
Spoiler ahead, beware.

Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.

The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …

Alfred Hitchcock’s very last film before his death in which a most complicated story is told. Two different criminal couples are up to no good, and for strange reasons their paths get connected. This result in a chaotic meeting where nothing seems to be what one first is led …

Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …

Typically I wait until after the Oscars have passed to start diving into the nominated (and winning) films. Little Miss Sunshine is a movie packed with an inviting cast and some pretty hilarious dialogue. Following a family on their quest to enter their daughter in the …

As someone who loved the original, The Legend of Zorro was a hugely disappointing sequel. The scenery was still beautiful and I still liked the main actors, and the humor still made me laugh, but the magic was lost. The dignity of the first was abandoned in …

The Way We Were is a classic motion picture. It’s a love story with a questionable ending. It’s romantic and tragic. It’s wonderful. The movie stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, and boy do they sizzle together. It’s not an easy relationship, but the …

Get Hard is a comedy movie starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. Despite all the negative reviews I’d heard about the movie I decided to watch it. While I wasn’t impressed with the plot of the movie, I found myself not taking the movie seriously and laughing at the jokes …

I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …

Hey Guyz,
How are you all doing? Im fine by the way. I just went to see the Iron Man 3 movie just a few minutes ago and I only have one word to describe it! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! PURE EPICNESS!!! I mean WoW! the story line was great the …

Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

Stupidity was a documentary made for the Documentary Channel in Canada. It is about exactly what it says it is about: Stupidity.
Truthfully I have to say I had higher hopes for the documentary than they ended up fulfilling. Some of the stuff at the beginning …

I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …

I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …

I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …
